hi everyone
tonight i came across lots of purple card stock in my stash that i had left over from my sisters album a few years ago, i dont use purple very often , so when i saw that Paper Blessed had purple March for Epilespy. what a novel idea to use up the scraps in the bag ,
so i have made up my own sketch i found some 8 x 8 inch pattern papers ,im pretty sure these papers came out when i first started with Kaisercraft in 2007 .but dont quote me i would have to check my files
so being 8 x 8 inch , i thought i would create my own size sketch & hoping that it works without too much loss of papers you can just do 6x 6 or can use 12 x 12 inch to create more or less with your papers you have ,
here i have Created 8 cards ,wit a few add ons to create my cards , i still have cardstock left over so will keep gonig when ihave days free,
materials ive used ,
Couture Creations Cream blank cards. these are 150 ( 6 inches ) by 105 ( a bit over 4 inches ) ( these come in a pack of 50 with their envelopes )
card deco inks blueberry purple
daisy's flowers from my stash off the table
Kaisercraft SB natural floral patterned papers a very old collection
in my collection i had 4 sheets i haven't used them al up yet , my sheets ( 8 x 8 inch) but you can also add any scrap papers to use them up .
Lilac Avenue papers from 6 inch pad
